Correspondence Course Free, Homeschooling for free?
Q. If anyone knows of a school online or correspondence courses that are free, please write. There is very little money, and our town does not really have anything for this! We do have a high school online here, but my daughter is too young for that.
A. Do you have a library? Check there for other homeschoolers. Otherwise, if homeschooling simply means correspondence courses to you, I urge you to consider sending your child to the nearest public school. I'm a strong supporter of homeschooling and I know that socialization and independent thought aren't really issues, not the way the other posters wants them to be. It should also be noted that religion is no longer the #1 motivator among homeschooling families. Things have changed a lot. And yes, homeschooling CAN be better. Homeschooling SHOULD be better all things considered. But not all homeschooling is better - and nothing in the original poster's post gave me much confidence about the situation there. Of course, I'm being judgemental via a newsgroup without all the facts. If the local school is worse than a series of correspondence courses, then perhaps the correspondence courses are the way to go. There are thousands of websites with educational materials you could use with your daughter. In addition, there are a few online charter schools, depending on where you are, so you may want ot check on this. National standards for most subjects are either available online or for a nominal charge, and can serve as a good guideline. Regardless, homeschooling will cost-either you have to spend the time to put together the materials yourself, or you have to pay for someone else to do it. I don't think anyone is going to give you a complete plan, free.
